ah, yes, another shining example of the watchtower’s *unmatched* commitment to rational thought.

forget logic, science, or even basic common sense—just blame that suspiciously cursed handbag for all your troubles!

Or, There was a man from Nantucket . . . 🤣🤣🤣

I can't believe they would delete all of his videos from the website if it were merely a heath issue from advancing age.
All his videos were Removed.
They haven't all been removed. There is at least 18 on their website. Repeating an untruth over and over does not do any of us here any favors.
I stand by what I said.

I admit it tends to be a bit of hearsay, I did however last summer visit with a fellow who still talks to me when we see each other, which is admittedly very seldom as he resides in New York. As he is in very close contact with Warwick personnel he told me that the reason Morris is not a governing body member is severe advanced dementia along with the mental and emotional effects becoming more obvious. I have never known that person to lie to me, or to pass along idle gossip, and I've known him for nearly 55 years.

Watchtower May 2025: The Mystery of the Holy Angels

so from the get go in study article 18 and the theme :"imitate the faithful angels" we read the following questionable statement in paragraph 1: "when jehovah drew you to the truth, he invited you into a diverse and loving family of worshippers, which includes millions of faithful angels.

But when you open the Bible, you’ll see that it repeatedly calls faithful followers of Christ “holy ones.”
According to WT theology though that is only the "favored" 144,000. Even humans when finally reaching perfection (not that I believe that anymore) will still not be holy as they will never have immortality and can be disappeared in the blink of an eye for any impure thought or deed even after thousands of years. The WT teaches that other than God the only ones who will have total immortality are Jesus and his 144,000.
They are priming Jehovah’s Witnesses to trust messages that *feel* holy rather than testing them against the Bible.
I know I caught "holy Hell" (see what I did there?) for daring to tell an elduh that if instructions from the governing body did not sound right and did not fit the Bible that my choice would be to obey the Bible as God's inspired word not humans words. And he didn't like my using the scriptures as my backup for that decision. (Psalm 118:9) 9 It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to trust in nobles. (Acts 5:29) 29 In answer Peter and the [other] apostles said: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.
I love tweaking them using the Bible.

I challenge any jw to comment "I'm not sure what the answer is, as I've known a few of the friends have died from vaccine side effects", and watch the jaws drop.
I would take up that challenge, except I would have to go to a kingdom hall to do so, and it will be the proverbial cold day in Hell before I submit myself to that misery.

Yet a weak enough virus that it can only travel 6 feet. 5 feet 11 1/2 inches and you're screwed, 6 feet 1 inch and you're home free.

sisters were hounded to keep their dresses and skirts at exactly the middle of their knees!
The congregations I was in BITD would have had that poor sister in the back room for some strong counsel on not stirring up the hormones and sexual desires of men. Get that dress down to mid-calf or the ankle you Jezebel!

But How is that Different from all the Child Sexual abuse committed by "Holy Spirit Appointed Elders" that has been covered up since the 50s according to the ARC?
She isn't one of the "Holy Spirit Appointed Elders" that must be worshiped by the R&F.

I wonder if the GB will say anything about it...
Not if she makes a huge donation to WT. As one "elder" suggested to me several years ago, "Why get married? If you want sex just hire a couple hookers when you are in Las Vegas. Then when you get home go confess, and claim a moment of weakness. If you offer to make a BIG contribution to the hall you will get off."
This from a guy that cheated on two wives, was a chronic drunk, committed tax fraud more than once, but always manage to drop a thousand in the money box every month.

Hospitality for visiting speakers. Host congregation is supposed to ask if visiting speaker needs travel assistance.
It ain't hospitality if it is assigned or mandated!
